Spider crawled up bookshelf and onto and over a cardboard shoebox of casettes and then across dead laptop asking only for music as I type this sentence. Walked completely around the headphone-jack, would stick a leg in then back off. Spider stayed there until I went to sleep, is gone, now, in morning. Fine metaphors abound.
Why did I post that photo at this but not this there?
- In which they fail Eggs o' Jesus.
- The coming fall of the American empire.
- The Millenials are the American Earthquake.
- The ideology of "the Market."
- It's a good article on a rhetorical question: Why is neoliberalism back in Latin America.
- Meanwhile.
- Universities.
- Avedon's latest links.
- Maggie's weekly links.
- { feuilleton }'s weekly links.
- Frances' latest: on fake Native American art.
- If you're an Elvis Costello fan, Jim's gotta a thread for you.
- House of Fact, House of Ruin.
- Some July's, by this date. I'd be daily Kate and daily Ashbery ahead of Holy Days. Not happening this year, but wanted to be clear I'm aware of it, if only for my sake when looking back in the future, assuming there is one.
- Today would be a good day to save a life, yours, and a dog or cat's.
- Dawson's Peasant one of my very favorite 2017 releases. Go get.
ARGUMENT OVER, AMOUNTING
Clark Coolidge
In edges, in barriers the tonal light of t
the one thing removed overemphasizes tonally
and you could hurry it, and it vanish and plan
You go out on an avenue, but may be taken in despite
your chordal list of hates, overcomings banished ready
receiving you from a darkened cone, the one a beat
behind the one you there are
Then the I not part of the you equation, but the
spider trying to build where it is written
vibrates tentative
I don’t want to talk to you about it anymore
crystal region in its light, there are failures and
there are failures
But it’s imperative, abrupt catch, that you sink the
final catch, trounced morning
this is awful but none other available, words reach
and visually fail to tie audibly retire
the pieces of the opening collision, and the reaches of
turning aside remind
I am hopefully
this is position
of the world overcome by
and by the wind takes our voice
the collateral one voice
i was interested to learn that this richard dawson is not the tv game show host, nor is he, our friends at wikipedia tell us,
ReplyDeleteClinton Richard Dawkins FRS FRSL (born 26 March 1941) is an English ethologist, evolutionary biologist and author. He is an emeritus fellow of New College, Oxford, and was the University of Oxford's Professor for Public Understanding of Science from 1995 until 2008.
Dawkins first came to prominence with his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, which popularised the gene-centred view of evolution and introduced the term meme. With his book The Extended Phenotype (1982), he introduced into evolutionary biology the influential concept that the phenotypic effects of a gene are not necessarily limited to an organism's body, but can stretch far into the environment. In 2006, he founded the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
